The Lord killeth, and maketh alive; he bringeth down to the grave,and bringeth up....The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and liftethup.Heraiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggarfrom the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inheritthe throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's andhe hath set the world upon them.He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silentin darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces; out of heavenshall he thunder upon them: the Lord shall judge the ends of the earth;and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of hisanointed.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

This might be the end of the world. If Joe lost we were back in slavery and beyond help. It would all be true, the accusations tha...t we were lower types of human beings.

But ice-crunching and loud gum-chewing, together with drumming on tables, and whistling the same tune seventy times in succession,... because they indicate an indifference on the part of the perpetrator to the rest of the world in general, are not only registered on the delicate surfaces of the brain but eat little holes in it until it finally collapses or blows up.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

... with every Asiatic country where we operate in cooperation with the existing culture, the need for intelligent understanding o...f that country and its ways of life will be crucial.
